Many hiking areas are waiting for us.
Especially south Bavaria, Tirol in Austria, Switzerland
and Dolomite in Italy have too many beautiful mountains
to visit.
Here I'll try to document as many hikings as possible.

Rotbachlspite (Zillertal, Austria/Italiy)
"Transalp: to Italy on foot" fastinated me. The
route to the Italian border was very easy and is
suitable also for children. Pfitscherjochhaus
with Restaurant is just after the border. From
there the mountain route to Rotbachlsptze
starts. The route is not difficult and is well
indicated. However, the last piece is very
steep. The panorama view from the peak,
especially to the highest Hochfeiler (3510m) is
very nice.
Altitude difference: 1112m
Schlegeis Stausee (1785m) -> Pfitscherjoch
(2238m, 2h)
Pfitscherjoch -> Rotbachspitze (2897m, 1,5h)
Rotbachspitze -> Schlegeis Stausee (2h40min)
Difficulty: Easy to Middle

Aiplspitz North
Ridge (Geitau, Germany)
Aiplspitz is known to me from its easy south and
west approach. The sharp and steep north ridge
was tried out.
The route is not so difficult and is maintained
and indicated well. There are only few exposed
points but the route should be avoided under wet
condition.
For going down I took the easier route bound to
Spitzingsattel via Tanzeck and Schönfeld-Alm.
Altitude difference: 989mGeitau-station (770m) ->
Aiplspitz
(1759m
2h)
Aiplspitz -> Spitzingsattel
(1127m, 1h50min)Difficulty:
Middle to difficult

Pfanngraben
(Spitzingsee, Germany)A hidden quiet route to Rotwand (or
Auerspitz) Pfanngraben is especially recommended
for the early morning before the first bus
operation to Valepp.
The approach route is closed for car traffics
and we have to go down around 3km to the canyon.
The route is going along the beautiful stream
Pfanngraben with many waterfalls.
Altitude difference: 934m
Spitzngsee Kirche (1086m) -> Weitzinger-Alm
branch (950m) -> Rotwand (1884m 3h)
Rotwand -> Spitzingsee Kirche (1h20min)
Difficulty: Easy

Rabenkopf
(Jachenau, Germany)Rabenkopf has very attractive approach route
along streams and many waterfalls. This time we
took the route along the Rappinschlucht a very
deet canyon.
Rappinschlucht (canyon) has many stepped
waterfalls that seems very attractive for
canyoning.
In spite of its easy route, the access to the
peak requires very long approach and
corresponding time has to be calculated.
Altitude difference: 787m
Jachenau (768m) -> Rabenkopf (1555m 3h40min)
Rabenkopf -> Jachenau (2h25min)
Difficulty: Easy

Wallberg
(Rottach, Germany)It is a good idea to visit a mountain with
rope way during its maintenance period. The
chance came up at a foggy weekend in late
autumn. Such weather promises that the mountain
area has shun shine.
The route has no difficulties as it is also
possible with mountain bike. The only last part
(from the end station of the rope way to the
peak) is only for hikers.
Altitude difference: 947mWallbergbahn bus stop
(775m) -> Wallberg (1722m, 1h55) Wallberg ->
Wallbergbahn bus stop (1h40min)-> Rottach Post (740m,
22min)
Difficulty: Easy

Auracher-Köpferl
(Aurach, Germany)
Auracherköpferl, a not well-known peak of
Aurach, is not a panorama mountain. Since almost
all mountains in this area have been already
checked out, such hidden mountains sound more
attractive now.
Two different approaches are available. Today I
took the easier one from the north side.
Altitude difference: 461m
Fischbachau station (770m) ->
Auracherköpferl(1231m, 1h40min)

Difficulty: Easy

Kofel (Oberammergau,
Germany)The symbol mountain of Oberammergau, famous
with its passion play for every 10-Year, seems
extremely steep when it is looked from
Oberammergau.
However, the route from the col behind the peak
is not difficult at all. Only the last part with
steel wires needs careful steps.
Altitude difference: 500m
Oberammergau Cemetery (842m) -> Kolbensattel
(col) -> Kofel (1342m 1h30min)
Kofel -> Kolbensattel -> Kolben-Alm

Difficulty: Easy

Grassleienkopf
(Lenggries, Germany)Grassleitenkopf is
also a not well-kown peak of Lenggries. This
hidden small peak is located just behind the
Lenggrieser hut. The route continues to the west
narrow ridge and from another peak Grassleiten a
great panorama over Isar is "must be seen".
Altitude difference: 734m
Lenggries Hohenburg (770m) -> Lenggrieser hut
(1338m) -> Grassleiten (11434m 2h)

Waxenstein in Lenggries was selected.
From the parking for ski lift it along the jeep
way to Kot-Alm, turn the right at the entrance
of the Kot-Alm, then again to right soon into
the path in the forest. Yellow paint markings
are on trees along the path. The last rock part
is steep and unsecured.

unsecured)

Hunds-Alm Ice
Cave (Lake Thiersee, Austria)
Just thought a light hiking for visiting an ice
cave which has still ice in summer. After
visiting the ice cave which was not enough walk,
we decided to make an optional tour through the
Adler Weg, but it was too much enough with many
peaks and up and down. The cave tour is guided
one including the winter jacket and helmet.
Parking in the forest road above Hinterthiersee
(1045m) -> Hundsalm Ice Cave (1515m, 2.0h)

Difficulty: Easy (but for the round tour through
Adler Weg requires much time and effort.)

Setzberg
(Rottach-Egern, Germany)Setzberg is the neighbour hill of the famous
Wallberg with ropeway.
Starting from the right side of the ropeway
station at the foot of Wallberg, we go up along
the forest street to the flat mesa used as
summer farm. From the mesa you already see the
peak of Setzberg. The last part has almost no
shade and is suitable for tour in late autumn.
Ropeway station (774m) -> Wallberghaus

Neureut
(Tegernsee, Germany)What a beautiful autumn we have in this
year! On mountains it is still comfortable warm,
while in the flat land it is always foggy.
The tables of the Neureut-hut, climbing up
directly from the station Tegernsee, became soon
full in a shourt time.
Today we made a round tour checking some peaks
out enjoying the last sun shine. In addition we
made a long break in the Tegernseer brewery
restaurant.

Difficulty: Easy

Lacherspitz
(Bayrischzell, Germany)
Because of the ropeway installed for the
neighbour mountain Wendelstein, surrounding
mountains are rather crowded. However, on a late
sunny autumn day such route throughout at the
south side is attractive. The narrow peak was
really full, occupied mostly by our nine
members.
Osterhofen station (806m) -> Hochkreut-Alm

The middle old town Arco is around 6km far in
north from the resort town Riva del Garda. There
is a via ferrata for beginners with 250m height

east side of Riva del Garda has an antenna on
the top. The east side has very steep cliff
while the west side has gentle slope of olive
plants. Some ruins of batteries installed by
Austrian during the World War 1 are still
existing. This might be a half day light tour
following the history.

is not easy to tell and mostly covered by trees
for looking through the sight between the tree
gaps. The neighbouring peek Rotkopf was also
quiet but Roßkopf was full of audience for the
great panorama.

Bodenschneid
(Fischhausen-Neuhaus, Germany)Bodenschneid hidden behind the lake
Schliersee can be reached in 2 hours from the
station Fischhausen-Neuhaus.
The steep path from the Bodenschneidhaus hut
becomes uncomfortable when it is wet, however
this will be ok in such a day afer long sunny
period. The view on the Lake Tegernsee from the
peak is perfect. The other route on the ski area
is taken for the return route.

A very large mountain near the border between
Germany and Tirol in Austria. Despite of its

Guffertspitze:
(Achensee/Steinberg

view to the Berner mountains maks us never being
tired. Tour in high temperature might be to hot,
because whole route is facing to south without
tree. This might be an easy but interesting ski
